Abstract:
This study examines the association between corporate governance and environmental and climate-change (ECC) disclosures and performance of top ASX listed firms, during the operative periods of carbon pricing and prescriptive requirements on firms to disclose ECC information in corporate reports: 2011 to 2015. Quantitative evidence show board independence, environmental assurance, and boards with community affiliation are substantive measures while environmental committees and boards with environmental and social affiliations tend to be symbolic environmental governance measures.

We utilize unbalanced panel data from Refinitiv Eikon covering 9,960 global firms from 2002 to 2022.

In the current study, we investigate four models. The aim of our first model is to investigate the association between board demographic, structural, and capital diversity, and corporate carbon perfo

Energy companies are major contributors to climate change, yet have very few legal obligations to reduce emissions from their operations. As a result, it is likely that further regulation of corporate emissions will have to be developed to deal with climate change. This Thesis aims to determine whether existing mechanisms dealing with corporate emissions are adequate, and, if they are not, what would be the best mechanism(s) to mediate companies’ contributions to climate change. A selection of five sets of mechanisms will be analysed; internal corporate norms, company law, climate change and e

Abstract:
We elucidate the differences between absolute and intensity-based limits of CO2 emission when there is uncertainty about the future. We demonstrate that the two limits are identical under certainty, and rigorously establish their relative attractiveness under two criteria: preservation of expectations—the minimization of the difference between the actual level and the initial expectation of abatement associated with a one-shot emission target, and temporal stability—the minimization of the variance of abatement due to fluctuations in emissions and GDP over time. Empirical tests of these theore

Abstract:
This thesis is a critical evaluation of the theory and practice of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM). It seeks to understand why SSCM theory has so little to say about environmental sustainability and to explore how SSCM practice is contributing towards the transition towards sustainable development. I conjecture that SSCM scholars have not engaged sufficiently with the broader sustainability literature and other constructions of sustainability, which has led to a lack of theory development within SSCM. The sustainability paradigms framework that forms the core of the thesis was devel

Abstract:
<p> The importance of effective leadership practices as related to environmental issues and climate change is well established by climate change policy negotiators and there has been an increasing trend in leadership roles being created in organizations to address environmental issues. Organizational change efforts focused on social responsibility initiatives, such as changing environmentally relevant behaviors, often generate significant costs for organizations without contributing to desired results and messages from leaders to stakeholders in organizations do not frequently align with perfo

Abstract:
Global environmental change fundamentally affects plants and their interactions with other species, and this has profound impacts on communities and ultimately ecosystems. In order to understand the mechanisms involved, we need to elaborate on the combined effects of different global change drivers on multiple levels of plant organization, including the biochemical level (production of defence compounds), the whole organism, the population, and the plant-herbivore interaction level. This thesis investigates (1) the combined effects of factors related to climate change and habitat fragmentation

Abstract:
Climate change is a global concern as it may affect many aspects of life, including water supply. A tool used to model climate change’s impacts is called a General Circulation Model (GCM). GCMs project future scenarios including temperature and precipitation, but these are designed at a coarse resolution and require downscaling for employment for regional hydrologic modeling. There is a vast amount of research on downscaling and bias-correcting GCMs data, but it is unknown whether these techniques alter precipitation signals embedded in these models or reproduce climate states that are viable
